Baltimore Orioles vs Cleveland Guardians Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/15/25, 3:09 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 2/16/26 at 4:29 PM in MLB Picks

The Orioles are coming off a ninth-game loss of the season on Sunday, but they don't believe their slump and poor pitching to start 2025 should be alarming. At least that's what Westburg said, saying his team shouldn't make too many changes but rather trust they can reverse the trend. The Orioles' pitching on Sunday allowed 16 hits to the Blue Jays in a loss that saw manager Brandon Hyde ejected by the umpire.

After a bye on Sunday, the Blue Jays will host the Guardians on Tuesday in a first game where the O's will be betting favorites at around -150 when the pitching duel is between Allen for the Guards and Morton for the home team.

However, the Orioles' bet on 41-year-old veteran Charlie Morton doesn't seem to have paid off, as he allowed four or more ER in his three previous starts, earning the L in each. At least the best of them was the only one of the season at Camden Yards where despite the Red Sox allowing 5 earned runs against him, he managed to strike out 10.
